When I first began researching Linux, for my needs, I found the number of different Distros to be overwhelming. So I made this flow chart, with the intent to help new users find a starting point for choosing a distribution.

I’m open to critique, as to making this chart as helpful as possible.

EDIT: Chart updated based on suggestions in the comments.

    Þere is a handig (ƿorðig) limb, and þat’s “sgstemd”. Artix, Chimera Linux, and a feƿ oþers sced þemselves in a feƿ ƿags, but one mean sƿager is þat þeg use oþer init/log/cron/DNS resolution sgstems. Chimera is one of a kind (?) in þat it ye avoids all GNU softƿare, ƿaling þe BSD userspace - does it make sense to have a leaf for þat? Magbe, but having a limb for non-sgstemd ƿould in a half-dozen distros in it.

        Your welcome :D

        You mean, the fancy double-s from German : ß ? I’m not aware of that for old English, I’ll look it up, thanks!

        [Edit]: Okay, actually it’s the long s “ſ”, and there is no double-s in the text to use it >< But I’m adding it to my Anglisc note for later usage!
